7:16 pm
i need a different environment. that's why i'm always fighting and stuff like that. because people always want that drama with me. >> it's the kind of drama the jail doesn't want. staff has compiled a list of keep-froms, or inmates that must be kept away from edmonds jr. this list of his potential enemies makes it hard for the jail to house him. >> all right. continue? >> brian edmonds, he was recently put on admin seg. >> is this junior or senior? >> junior. >> once a month, they conduct a meeting to review the inmates housed in single-person segregation cells throughout the jail. >> the purpose of this meeting is to make sure that we have the right people in those cells, those single cells. single cells are a premium item in the department here. >> edmonds has an excessive keep-from list now and continued behavioral issues. >> do we need to follow up with

7:18 pm
ending up in jail on his current charges, but the void left by his father's lengthy prison stays remains an open wound, one made more painful by where his father now resides. >> my dad is on the fourth floor. he just got 30 years, though. he's been in the penitentiary all my life, anyways, so it doesn't phase me. >> so you are following in your father's footsteps? >> i don't even know him to follow in his footsteps. i get offended when people say that. i've got to know him to know who he is. i was already out running around the projects. i don't deal with him, at all. i don't deal with him. it's too late to turn back. ain't nothing he can do to change my circumstance, you know, but stay the hell out of my face. i take total responsibility for anything i do. i'm never going to sit here and say, ah, if my daddy would have raised me different, because it is what it is. i'll take responsibility for any position that i put myself in. i feel like in order for me to
7:19 pm
better myself, i've got to look at it as, it's my fault. and i feel like that's what's going to help me develop me into a man. not just no man by age, but a man mentally. >> coming up -- >> for real, bro, i really don't have to go through this. >> i don't give a [ bleep ] about you. >> the edmonds struggle to reconcile the past in what could be the final meeting of their lives. but first, a vulnerable young inmate encounters a surrogate mom. >> i just immediately take her under my wing and show her what to look for. i mean, there's lesbian activity that goes on. step 1. eat the soup. all those veggies and beans, that's what may help lower your cholesterol and -- well that's easy [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. that's what may help lower your cholesterol and -- some people put everythingsy intotheir name on the door, and their heart into their community.

7:25 pm
always love him and miss him. >> several hours after the shooting, carmack turned herself into the police. originally charged with murder, she eventually pled guilty to second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to eight years in prison. she spent most of the following year in a juvenile detention facility and was released to a halfway house on probation shortly after turning 18. carmack violated her probation by not taking her medication. >> i told my director that i stopped taking my medication because it wasn't helping me. and i need counseling and stuff like that. that's when, you know, my probation officer, she comes in a little bit after that and she tells her that i stopped taking my medication and i refuse to take my medication. and that's when she put the cuffs on me. it's not that i refused not to take my medication. i would have took my medication if i would have known all of this was going to happen. >> a judge will eventually review the matter and could send carmack to an adult prison to is serve the rest of her sentence.

7:34 pm
because then he always says, i told you i was going to do it. so we act proactively rather than reactively on this one and it works out better on everyone. >> the inmate who made the threats was recently moved to segregation after an incident that had occurred two weeks earlier. as inmate marquel white launched an assault on officer hamilton, several inmates rushed the door of the housing unit. k kimbly was reported to be among them. up until then, he was a model inmate. >> just cool down. >> he's going through some personal issues, he said. so he says he's going to be quiet the rest of the night for you. >> good. that's what we need. >> we'll see. >> kimbly is currently in jail, awaiting trial for murder. he has pled not guilty, but lately he's been dealing with another death. >> i'm dealing with a big loss right now. you know, my daddy died. i feel like, you know,

7:38 pm
wouldn't change how i look at a lot of things in life, really. it would help me get rid of a lot of hatred in my heart, that i've always had towards my daddy. >> coming up, the edmonds give their relationship what could be its final chance. >> what's going on? but first -- >> when i say stop talking about it, you need to stop talking about it. >> a different sort of parental relationship hits a nerve. >> i wasn't expecting somebody to just come out and say that, but i should have known. their name on the door, and their heart into their community. small business saturday is a day to show our support. a day to shop at stores owned by our friends and neighbors. and do our part for the businesses that do so much for us. on november 24th, let's get out and shop small. bp has paid overthe people of bp twenty-threeitment to the gulf. billion dollars to help those affected and to cover cleanup costs.

here, i'll give you some peace and quiet. >> i feel like i'll relieve some of that stress by beating on the door. >> you should roll your mat up and beat your mat. punch your mat if you need to. you won't heard your hands or feet doing that, not like you will kicking this steel door. >> one thing i could suggest you do is get paper, sit down and write all your stuff out on paper. it helps a lot. trust me, it does. it helps you release it. get it out, and you're putting it on paper, so you can go back later and read it. >> i never thought about that. >> yeah, try that. all your feelings, how you feel, everything. >> like writing a story. >> yeah. and it really does help. and that's a really nice way of releasing what you have inside. >> and you'll read the story? >> yeah, i'll come and read it. >> i'm most definitely going to write a story. >> okay. >> appreciate you coming to. >> you're welcome. thank you, mr. kimbly, for not being all disruptive for me and

2,000 men and women are incarcerated at the louisville metro department of corrections jail. most are working on their cases, hoping to clear their names and go free. today, however, two inmates, brian edwards will attempt to clear long-lingering emotional wounds. edwards jr., who can be sentenced to death if found guilty, allowed zoo officials to give him a final visit with his father, who will soon transfer to state prison to start a 30-year sentence. the request was approved. >> it really might be the last time i'll get to see him for a while. what's up, baby? >> what's happening? what's going on with you? >> let me tell you something. i already told him from the get-go, i don't blame you for
7:53 pm
nothing. you know what i'm saying? i chose the path i took? i chose to do what i wanted to do. but at the same time, i just want to know what i'm saying. if you could have done anything different, what would you have done? >> it would have been a whole lot different. i would have chose different route, so you wouldn't end up in the situation that you was in. you follow in the same footsteps as me. i'm tired, every time i look up, you in the hole. i'm sick of the fighting. it bothers me. i never know when something serious going to happen to you. and that's frustrating. that's very frustrating. >> i mean, it's frustrating to me that you just got 30 years, you know? and then, you know, we always had a friendship, but we didn't have a father/son relationship. you know what i'm saying? when you got locked up, you talk a whole lot of sense, you don't want this, you don't want that.
7:54 pm
but you ain't never demonstrated that. put it like this. if we was both to get out today, what did you think you could do to help me? they just offered me 30 years not too long ago. if i get 30 years, what do you feel like you can do to develop this, like you never was, or what you want to be. say i'm willing to listen or learn or whatever. >> you act like i ain't never tried, though. >> which one -- explain to me. >> even when i live with you. >> we fought almost every day. >> you weren't mind. >> did you expect anything different? >> i ain't never really been loved. like, i remember the first christmas we had together. you remember that? when you started crying? >> listen, the first christmas. the first time we really spent
7:55 pm
christmas together. i felt like that meant something to me. i was a kid, probably about 12. that was the first time i ever thought you really loved me. other than that, i ain't never had -- i don't know what the hell love is. i would rather have not had shoes, clothes, all that materialistic [ bleep ], and just have my mom and my dad. that's how i feel. i wish i would have had my mom and my dad. i would have had some morals and principles. you know what i'm saying? that's why i'm so angry. it's stuff i never had. >> moments later, edmonds jr. brings up his father's recent relationship with another woman and her young daughter. >> and you're on the phone telling her you love her and her child. >> no, i wasn't even talking to her. >> you love her and her child. >> i write you every day -- hold, hold, hold. >> try to feel this -- >> no, because you ain't going to go through all of that. i write you every day, and every letter i write you, you tell me that you love me.
7:56 pm
don't try to make it seem like i told the girl that i love her. >> you told her period! you told her period! >> i'm saying, what do a child have to do with it? >> that ain't your child. you weren't there for me when i was 6 and 7. >> you weren't. >> i was out when you were 7. >> you called another man daddy. >> who was with my mom when you went to prison? >> that don't matter. that was your mama's choice. >> who was with mama when you were in the penitentiary. >> i only did this interview because you said you want to do it. >> i don't give a [ bleep ] about you. >> he's trying to make it one-sided it. >> i told him i don't even blame you. >> brian sr., he's angry. >> he's supposed to be. i mean i get frustrated because i know the majority of the
7:57 pm
situation has to do with me not being there, and it's hard knowing he could possibly end up with the death penalty. it's hard to even think about it. i always wanted to be there to help him, but it's sad to say, i let him mama basically run me away. and for a long time, i had a grudge against her. i should have never done it, was i felt like that was the only way for me to get even with her. and when i got out and he was calling him daddy, that was really touching. >> did you blame me for that? >> no, i blamed your mama. i'm sorry that i was never a father figure, just being your friend. i mean, i wanted it so bad, because, like, i'm saying, honestly, in my heart, i didn't
7:58 pm
want you to end up here with me. i mean, you might think that i'm just saying this for the cameras. for real, [ bleep ] these cameras. i only did the interview for you. feel me? i only did it so i can have this conversation. you know what i'm saying? this is affecting me way more than it's affecting you. because i know that the majority of this is only because i wasn't there. >> that's all i want to hear. this little bitty piece right there, this whole conversation, that was the only piece i wanted to hear. i'm no longer mad at him, at all. i swear to god, i'm not. now we can just get over this bridge, you know what i'm saying? get on with some father/son stuff. if it's from jail cell to jail cell, you know, it's still possible. if i was to get out and you had to stay in, you could still make an impression. i don't know exactly how, but ain't nothing impossible. you owe me the trial.
7:59 pm
i don't blame you for nothing else. you owe me enough. i don't care how stubborn i am, you owe me the effort. that's all i ask. >> let's wrap it up. >> yeah. >> i love you. >> i love you too. >> i don't know really what to say. i'm satisfied, though. honestly, in my heart, you know what i'm saying, i ain't mad at him. no hard feelings, ain't no none of it. i feel like he was sincere about it. i know he know he's wrong, and i don't care if nobody else in the world knows. now i really know. you know, i'm cool with that. >> all right.
